United States Armed Forces Suits

The family of a top Marine who apparently killed himself is making new charges that the military botched its investigation into the colonel's controversial 1991 death and may have doctored photographs at the death scene. Col. James E. Sabow's survivors filed a $60-million claim against the military last November, nearly two years after Sabow's death during a scandal over the use of government planes that led to the dismissal of the commanding general at the Marine Corps Air Station at El Toro.
